Family

Hey family!

I love you!

This
week was full of happiness and greatness. Heavenly Father is working
through Elder Mckay and I and we are doing some real special things
here. The language is lovely. I love Yisan haha. There are so many
people around us. Members, investigators, missionaries. Everyone is so
so awesome and I am having the best time.

We
baptized Sister ทิพย์ yesterday! She is amazing. She has got more faith
and testimony than about anyone else I've met. So so neat.

We
have a few investigators from the Seventh Day Church who are doing real
well. But last night we met up with one and I'm pretty sure her Pastor (
who we met with this week also ) has been telling and showing her Anti
stuff because she came in hard and was saying the meanest things about
our Church and Mormons and it was so sad. I love our Church. Bearing our
testimonies of Prophets and the Book of Mormon felt so good and may
have gotten to her a little bit. In the end we just promised her in the
name of Jesus Christ that she would receive an answer if she would open
her heart a little, truly ask God, and read the Book. Even if it was
just one page. I think she has the Faith.

Our
District is on fire. This district is so fun and so motivated and I
love it. Each companionship has many investigators coming to church. On
Sunday during Priesthood I sat in between three investigators and just
felt this special brotherhood that the Priesthood brings. It is so real.
I love it.

One day I fell off my bike and
tackled over several motorcycles and mopeds and my splits companion
Elder Flygare didn't stop laughing the rest of the day. Sometimes we
play basketball in the mornings which is fun. We've also got an athletic
district and that's the best.

Elder
Mckay and I found two big black dudes who play soccer for one of the
National teams here and you best believe we will be baptizing them soon.
Abbo and George.

Had
several tender mercies and many miracles happen this week with members
and investigators and just everyone. I love my mission.

Elder
McKay and I had 5 studly investigators at church this sunday and they
all loved it. After Baptizing ทิพย์, she looked up with her big eyes,
gave a thumbs up, and said: "เรียบร้อยแล้ว" which doesn't have a direct
translation but kinda means 'completed' or 'job well done' or 'finished
smiley face.' It was the sweetest thing and she bore the neatest
testimony afterwards. Stoked for her future.
